[PATCH v11 04/10] x86/resctrl: Add comments on RFTYPE flags hierarchy

[Babu Moger]

resctrl uses RFTYPE flags for creating resctrl directory structure.

Definitions and directory structures are not documented. Add
comments to improve the readability and help future additions.

  * Define the file type flags for base and info directories.

+ * RESCTRL filesystem has two main components
+ *	a. info
+ *	b. base
+ *
+ * /sys/fs/resctrl/
+ *	|
+ *	--> info (Top level directory named "info". Contains files that
+ *	|	  provide details on control and monitoring resources.)
+ *	|
+ *	--> base (Root directory associated with default resource group
+ *		  as well as directories created by user for MON and CTRL
+ *		  groups. Contains files to interact with MON and CTRL
+ *		  groups.)
+ *
+ *	Note: resctrl uses flags for files, not for directories.
+ *	      Directories are created based on the resource type. Added
+ *	      directories below for better understanding.
